imapsync is written in perl and available on github:
https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync

This is IMHO the best tool where dsync cannot be applied (as in your case).
The only drawback of imapsync is that it cannot preserve UIDs since it uploads
the messages via IMAP and the server will assign new message UIDs.

Daniel
